ATDML Photo Scavenger Hunt - November

I enjoyed last month's challenge so much, I thought I would do it again!

The seven photos required for November are:

• Fire / firework
• A reflection
• Home Comforts
• View from a Window
• Sign of the Season
• Favourite Drink
• Something you are thankful for

Fire

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I decided on a candle flame ..... wow, it was hard to photograph!  I wanted to take a picture of the whole candle holder, which is a dragon breathing life down into the candle ....... but all pictures with the whole object in, just had a blaze of light rather than a distinct flame.  So I had to settle for the flame and the base of the holder :-)

Reflection

Another difficult one to take!  My three decorated Ikea mirrors, with reflections of my cookbooks, me - or most of me, I seem to have cut off the top of my head - and some craft books on another bookshelf.

Home comforts

My knitted sampler square blanket .... it's quite well knitted, but not so well sewn together, that's the part I struggle with :-)  Lovely and snuggly though!

View from a Window

This is a view of a window, through another window ..... my car door window, to be precise.  I should add that I was stopped at traffic lights at the time :-)  Not as good a picture of the Christmas display as I would have liked, but not enough time to take another one.

Sign of the Season

Drifts of leaves under their trees ......

Favourite Drink

Red wine!  Well, really what else am I going to put....... LOL.  Doesn't have to be this specific brand, I'm happy with most things....... :-)


Something you are thankful for

My now usable craft room - I was drowning in stuff and could barely turn around.  So I took everything out .... and then put some of it back!  The result is a space where I can actually work :-)  Not to mention that I now have a much clearer idea of what I have got. 

During the course of this upheaval, I dropped a stepladder on my foot - ouch!  I nearly used a picture of my badly bruised toes, as I was very thankful that they weren't broken, but it was not a pretty sight, so you are spared that gruesome experience :-)

 

Looking forward to next month's prompts!

 

 

ADTML Photo Scavenger Hunt Challenge

I had never done a photo scavenger hunt before, so when I saw this challenge on the ADTML blog, I thought I would have a go.  Seven photos ...... how hard could it be .....?

Here is the list:

1. Time (to represent clocks changing at the end of the month)
2. Pumpkins
3. Autumn Leaves
4. Weather (good or bad, blue skies or wet shoes!)
5. Winter Warmer
6. Something Scary
7. A Treat :)

Time

 A watch catalogue

No, I don't attend Sotheby's auctions ...... I just work at the company which prints their catalogues ...... but I can dream ..... :-)

 

Pumpkins

Pumpkin display at the supermarket

 

Autumn Leaves

A tree on the way to work

Two days later the storm had blown away all the leaves!

 

Weather

The view out of the ADTML retreat hotel window

 

Winter Warmer

Slow cooker beef curry with griddled naan bread

 

Something Scary

Ooooh, scary cheeses .......

 

A Treat

Sweeties ready for the Trick-or-Treaters

This was the prompt I struggled with, until the obvious answer hit me :-)

 

This was such a fun challenge, and I plan to do a layout of all seven photos :-)
